Psychiatrist, MD, MS
Woodland Hills, CA 91367
My approach is based on integrative psychiatry, which uses medications, therapy and complementary medicine to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I address the combined impact of sleep, lifestyle, relationships, nutrition and chronic medical conditions on well-being, and use cutting edge tools like genetic testing to guide personalized treatment with medication and supplements. I consider the patient's cultural background in my assessments and I can provide treatment in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. My goal is to help my patients create lasting changes and build vitality, resilience and purpose in life.

FAQ - Medication Management Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with medication management?
What distinguishes psychiatrists from other mental health professionals is their medical training and ability to prescribe and manage psychiatric medications. Medication management encompasses the ongoing monitoring and adjustment of a client's medications—including types, dosages, and combinations—to ensure optimal treatment of clinical symptoms while minimizing adverse effects. Before prescribing medication, psychiatrists will typically conduct an evaluation that includes an assessment of the client's symptoms, medical history, and previous psychiatric diagnoses. Then, they will develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication, if appropriate. Once medication is initiated, psychiatrists work closely with clients to monitor their response to the treatment and make necessary adjustments to ensure both safety and effectiveness.

What is the psychiatrist's approach to medication and overall treatment?
Most psychiatrists take a holistic approach to medication treatment, recognizing that medication alone is rarely most effective. They typically recommend that clients also engage in psychotherapy or counseling to address any underlying causes of their mental health challenges. Additionally, many psychiatrists collaborate with clients to implement lifestyle modifications that can significantly improve mental health outcomes, such as establishing a healthy sleep routine, developing better stress management techniques, incorporating regular exercise, and building healthy relationships.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in medication management?
The Psychology Today directory is a useful tool to find psychiatrists who specialize in medication management. Using the search filters, clients can search for professionals with expertise in specific conditions, such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, substance use, or trauma. If desired, clients can also narrow their search to providers who share their identity, such as identifying as a specific gender or practicing a given religion. When speaking with potential psychiatrists, it can be helpful to ask about their specific expertise in treating your condition and inquire about their approach to medication and behavioral interventions in general. It is also important to determine whether their office is accessible (either close-by or via telehealth) and if they accept your insurance.
